Hi, I’ve been working on an Libre Calc project, when I noticed I can no longer find my menu bars and even the red LM button and Terminal button has disappeared. I know I’ve done something, but I’ve no idea how to get these back. I tried re-booting but no luck. Any ideas?
All I see on the desktop are the usual icons, so I can get to my files, e-mail etc. but no controls. Right clicking on the desktop allows access to termincal and this is what it shows:
helen@helen-HP-Spectre-x360-Convertible:~/Desktop$
Not sure I had it showing Desktop$ before…
Hey @Helenska!
And here I am. Can you please post a screenshot of how your desktop looks like at the moment? Also, which distro do you currently have installed?
Hey Vasileios, I decided to try and re-boot and overwrite the old Mint version, but I’m now having all sorts off issues, unable to download Rufus or Etcher successfully…I did see an error message that I might be missing a video driver, so not sure if that is something that would stop the download tools opening from my download folder. Any help will be appreciated.
Trying to download Rufus, only option comes as an .exe; I’m already operating on a broken Linux Mint OS, need to re-install but need either Rufus or Etcher, Ether is giving errors of an incomplete download, something about missing partition table…Mint is so broken I have no dock and only terminal commands which I don’t know much about…if a phone call would work better than typing - let me know
Yes, that was my thinking…I did read that a novice should not attempt to upgrade in terminal, so I remember Jeff P saying that if it went bad, you just reload and start over…
so…the dock disappeared - if you scroll up to my screen shot, there are no Mint commands, I’m totally winging it through trial and error. Also, terminal seems permanently displaying as coming from my Desktop. Not sure what else is going on.
